Geography

Dean Street shopping precinct, 2020

Situated at the base of Mount Archer in the Berserker Range about seven kilometres to the north of the Fitzroy River, the district was named for French botanist Anthelme Thozet, first director of the Rockhampton Botanic Gardens in the 1860s. Thozet established the second hotel in Rockhampton, the Alliance, but driven by a never failing professional interest in botany he commenced researching native Australian plants used by indigenous people of Northern Queensland, Australia including the Darumbal clans around Rockhampton. Thozet established his own plant nursery in North Rockhampton on 70 acres (280,000 m2) which are today bounded by Thozet Creek, Thozet Road, Rockonia Road and the Fitzroy River (present day Koongal).[3]

Frenchmans Creek which runs through the area was also named for Thozet. It enters the Fitzroy River at 23°22′49″S 150°32′45″E / 23.3803°S 150.5458°E / -23.3803; 150.5458 (Frenchmans Creek (mouth)).[4][5]

There is a shopping strip along Dean Street between Kerrigan Street and Gair Street (23°20′50″S 150°32′13″E / 23.3471°S 150.537°E / -23.3471; 150.537 (Dean Street shops)).[6]

History

Frenchman's Creek Provisional School opened on 22 November 1900. On 1 January 1909, it became Frenchman's Creek State School. In 1924, it was renamed Frenchville State School.[7][8]

Frenchville Sports Club was established in 1948. Despite the name, it is now located at 105 Clifton Street, in neighbouring Berserker (23°21′24″S 150°31′46″E / 23.3568°S 150.5295°E / -23.3568; 150.5295 (Frenchville Sports Club)).[9]

North Rockhampton State High School opened on 31 January 1956.[7]

The area was completely rural in character until the late 1960s, with small holdings and dairy farms predominating. In the late 1960s suburban development rapidly took place and the small school rapidly grew to an enrolment of well over 1,000 in the late 1970s.[citation needed]

North Rockhampton Methodist Church opened in 1965. Following the amalgamation of the Methodist Church into the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, it became the North Rockhampton Uniting Church.[10] On 27 October 1989 a new church was officially opened beside the 1965 church, which was then re-purposed as a church hall.[11][12][13]

Rockhampton North Special School opened on 24 January 1977.[7]
